Worst Parent Ever: Gods, Fathers and Sons (Daughters, too)

Steve Anderson

The Greek God Kronos castrated his father and swallowed his children whole, but does that make him such a bad guy? The myths and sacrifices continue, updated for today’s lousy American parents, vengeful gods, and angry sons (daughters too). Hear the myth retold, Kronos’s rebuttle and footnotes by his son, Zeus. Laugh, cry, blame your parents, and find your Zeus. Bad parenting was never so much fun.

1 Review for Worst Parent Ever: Gods, Fathers and Sons (Daughters, too)

  1. Steve Anderson has created an amusing and provocative allegory based on the graphic and dramatic Roman and Greek creation myths. It no longer shocks me that we have war after war and all that that implies. These patriarchs of our civilization were bad Dads!If you want to know just how bad, see the show.
